>Sad to see "tenant" organizations yell and scream about gentrification and displacement, ignoring the fact that both of those things are happening right now. Spicy take: they're fundamentally not mad about those things happening right now, they're mad about those things happening to them right now. California housing advocacy is Winston Smith screaming, "Do it to Julia!" over and over again. They oppose bills like SB50 because they prefer a zero- or negative-sum solution over a positive-sum solution, which would still allow those people to live near them and "destroy their community".
